John is an artist. Can design and make anything. Even makes his own hardware.

That’s so cool, I’ve never seen a Supra clone made of WOOD! What an amazing idea, and amazing drum.

I put the Black Maple Supra up for sale. It's on Reverb, and it's on DFO. Should be a sound file too.

4.5x14 bubinga, DIY build with a shell by Patrick Head (Exotic Drums, no longer in business). Built around 2005, IIRC.

5x14 chakte kok, DIY build with a shell by the now-defunct Morgan-Lamgmuir Drum Company in Rochester, NY. Mike Morgan told me that the shell was originally made to be built into a drum for Barrett Deems, but Mr. Deems passed away before assembly could begin. I found the shell on ebay in 2006 or 2007, drilled and cut beds, then assembled.

1" thick shell, which people assume would make for a one-trick-pony sort of drum -"loud and nothing else" - but it's actually quite versatile.

Two more DIY builds with shells by Joshua Tree Percussion. 6x14 cherry, and 6.5x14 ash.

One more stave shell snare. (I'll get to my segment shell snares a little later.)

6x14 walnut, DIY build with a shell by Daville Drumworks.

14 x 6.5” Walnut Stave by Quebec builder Ebenor. Nicest of all the stave shell snares i have owned . Incredibly articulate yet retains tons of body .

My Ava 15x4.5 jarrah snare; 1/2" straight wall shell, Puresound wires, Trick 007 throw and butt plate, dual vent holes, 10 COB tube lugs, low sheen natural finish. I don't recall seeing a 15" jarrah stave snare before, so that was the inspiration.

Whew, what a batch of beautiful instruments guys!!!!!!!

I think AVA is just one of the best out there right now. Build, woodworking, paint/gloss, perfect edges. He knows his stuff. Your 15" snare is beautiful

Thanks! Craig does amazing work, for sure. He's excellent to communicate with, as well.
